I believe Arben. He just seems like such a trustworthy, honest person.
Just kidding obviously. I read through this last night (skipped a few parts here and there), but wow, talk about talking out your asshole! I can't wait to see if Maui X-Stream launches any lawsuits against drunkenbatman (or anyone else). Should be entertainment on the level of the SCO fiasco if it happens.
"They" will realize it doesn't cut the mustard the moment that "you" realize that 99% of the consumers out there don't care whether it's DRM'd (so long as it's not incredibly prohibitive) or whether it's in a lossy format. Ever realize how most people can't tell the difference between FM and a CD?
flamebait? ouch! guess it was too much to expect/. mods to understand a little wordplay. y'see, it's a dupe, so you get the phonic interpretation. then you get the literal one since it's a duplicitous [see ergo98's link for a definition of that] exploit that's mentioned in the article. but noooooo...you had to go mod me redundant and flamebait. troglodytes, the lot of ya...
No, editing is not easy. However, the sign of a good editor is when there is nothing like this for the users/readers to complain about. If you're just going to chalk it up to "being hard," then maybe you shouldn't be editing at all...
Have you considered contacting the company to see if they sell printed hardcopies? Even though most software packages ship with electronic documentation, some companies still have dead tree versions available for sale. It's just cheaper for them not to include one with every single copy they sell.
Y'know, after I posted that I began wondering the same thing...After hitting google via IP address, I tried using the domain name, and it still wouldn't come up. Anybody with more in-depth knowledge of DNS propagation have an explanation?
Seriously. When it was down and I needed to do a search I just used nslookup to find their IPs. Punched that number into the browser and everything was working fine. I didn't try getting to gmail or anything, but I'm sure this would've worked there too for the five or ten minutes google wasn't resolving...
Actually, this is a very clear-cut case. Pandemic is the proper term. If it were an epidemic, you would need to show that this isn't an all-encompassing problem. The nature of the write-up indicates that it is indeed a pandemic. To help you, think of it in terms of AIDS. To say that there is an AIDS epidemic is incorrect, since there are no places on the world that do not have the AIDS problem to deal with. If you are referring to any one single location, you can refer to it as an epidemic in that context. If you are talking about it in general, it is a pandemic. This is something that news organizations repeatedly get wrong.
But, if the NYT wants to use digital news (and news archives) as a revenue stream, they will need to (eventually) digitalize their entire news archives, not just for the previous year. At that point, even I would consider subscribing (and I am a tight-wad.)
Their PDF archives have gone back to 1851 for quite a while now. This shows that your second point is entirely moot -- you've never considered subscribing, or else you would know this...
"Also on Friday, Microsoft unveiled its Performance Peak Initiative -- a line of computer systems to help the auto industry better coordinate supply chains, streamline design, production and sales and fill vehicles with computer gadgets."
Hmmm...I wonder what their motive for this system could really be...
Do they have any data for how often people pick up an item in a brick & mortar store and put it in their shopping cart, only to put it back on the shelf before they finally check out? It'd be interesting to factor those stats into the equation...

Microsoft: The new Apple wannabe?
New? Where have you been for the past 20 odd years?
Wouldn't that kinda defeat the whole purpose of it being a, y'know, console (ie, a single target platform for the coders to aim for)?
Certainly doesn't help that it's on the "enterprisesecurity" subdomain either...

Won't someone end this duplicity?!?

What do you mean "wipe"? I thought that's why we wear underwear...
Ummm, liquid paper?
...if you didn't make 2% of total computer population
Hey, I'm sure he's not that fat...
Looks like he was nice and made us a goatse.cx widget. Too bad I don't have Tiger yet... :'(

Okay, I managed to follow you even when you were talking about climbing up and down, but where does the buying and selling of land fit into this?
Can you please point out where the word "invent" appears in that transcript?
...even the clever bits of Google were done 'first' in research instituations around the world.
Y'mean like that research into search technology that was done at Stanford in the late 90s.
If I were Microsoft, I'd drop all my unprofitable departments and focus on what people actually want.
A Microsoft-free world? : p
I bet you get great sound out of that s-video cable...

Very true. I go to other sources when I want something written by someone sitting in their flat smoking dope.
